Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"

I'm loving this thread already.

Armchair lawyering, some advocating of dodgy downloading, people deciding they know Sky's strategies and business models better than Sky do, this rocks.

VM will get Sky Atlantic, for now Sky are just playing the PR game with its exclusivity. It's par for the course.

For all this discussion from about Sky's ignorance of the advertising market their revenue from it has increased by 40% year on year, revenue by 15% and operating profit by 26%. They clearly have some idea what they are doing and pulling a few channels behind paywall and holding another exclusive for a while won't have been done for their health.

Then I await the announcement of the law suit from VM. If agreements, which will presumably be on paper, signed, etc, as given these are two multi-billion pound companies we'd assume a handshake isn't enough, have been broken I'm very surprised we haven't seen this action.

Unless of course there is no agreement covering Sky Atlantic, and this is the traditional Sky Hysteria
